Engaged Learning is basic statistics-oriented education and guidance that CISER provides to the practitioner to perform strong and proper analysis of their own research. CISER staff works closely with the researcher with the objective of improving their general understanding of statistical methods and techniques and how it is applied to their project.
No direct deliverables will be produced by CISER in the course of providing
Engaged Learning.
Each researcher is entitled, that is, at no cost to them, to a limited number of Engaged Learning hours per fiscal year (e.g., July 2025 – June 2026). The number of Engaged Learning hours depends on the WSU college that the researcher comes from. See table below. Researchers who exceed the respective limit have the option to move on to Collaboration or Consulting services.
